Neymar has just undergone surgery after injuring the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his knee in the match against Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. It is expected that the striker will have to miss 10 months.
While away from the field, Neymar still knows how to make everyone pay attention to him when he introduces a new and different look. The Brazilian player posted a photo of his shaved head and mustache on his personal page with more than 200 million followers. Along with that, “little Pele” wrote the status line: “New look!”.
Witnessing Neymar’s new look, many fans reacted violently. Below are a few comments on social network X (formerly known as Twitter):
“Worst haircut I’ve ever had”.
“Maybe this guy has decided to retire”.
“Neymar is good at everything, but he’s not good at soccer”.
“Neymar’s mustache is truly a disaster”.
Recently, Neymar was just removed from the list of players registered to play this season by Al Hilal Club because of a long break. Saudi Arabia Club lost heavily on this contract. They spent 90 million euros to recruit Neymar from PSG and accepted to pay a salary of 160 million euros/year for this player.
Talking about Neymar’s condition, doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said: “Neymar is recovering well. On Sunday, I assessed his situation after surgery. He recovered very well but still in the early stages. Neymar’s injury is complicated and will require him to be out of action for a long time.”
